NISAR Simulated Raw Data

Simulated NISAR raw data products are generated from UAVSAR data to emulate NISAR data characteristics in order to help users test their algorithms and get a sense of the quality of future NISAR products.

A guide for downloading data, processing notes, product descriptions, naming conventions, and known issues can be found here (link).

Products Derived from Other Missions in NISAR Format

Sentinel-1 Interferogram (BETA) products are prototype Level 2 NISAR-Format interferometric products (link) produced using the ARIA Science Data System under development for the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The creation, discovery, and distribution of these products is to inform the NISAR mission team of possible cloud-based processing and data management solutions. As such, these prototype products are not part of the ASF long-term archive and may become unavailable at any time as new SAR interferometric processing and delivery methods are explored.

Other Data Sets of Interest

This dataset is the first-of-its-kind spatial representation of multi-seasonal, global SAR repeat-pass interferometric coherence and backscatter signatures. Global coverage comprises all land masses and ice sheets from 82 degrees northern to 78 degrees southern latitude. The dataset is derived from high-resolution multi-temporal repeat-pass interferometric processing of about 205,000 Sentinel-1 Single-Look-Complex (SLC) data acquired in Interferometric Wide-Swath mode (Sentinel-1 IW mode) from 1-Dec-2019 to 30-Nov-2020.
